Product Introduction
Product Details
A brake drum is a component in a braking system that is typically made of cast iron and is used in drum brake systems. It is a cylindrical-shaped part that is mounted on the wheel hub and rotates with the wheel. When the brakes are applied, the brake shoes are pressed against the inner surface of the brake drum, causing friction and slowing down the wheel.
Brake drums are an essential part of a vehicle's braking system and are responsible for converting kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction. They are commonly found in older vehicles and some heavy-duty applications, although they have largely been replaced by disc brakes in modern cars.
Overall, brake drums play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and reliability of a vehicle's braking system. Proper maintenance and regular inspections of brake drums are important to ensure optimal braking performance and safety on the road.
